Every once in a while life can deal out epiphanies that hit like a freight train in the night. When moments like this happen, people are left to wonder if a certain product or idea actually exists elsewhere. Until now, the only way to find out if this was actually an original idea was to spend hours pouring over patent records.

All of this useless document scouring is coming to an end thanks to the new app named Quisitive. This awesome little tool will allow users to screen and effectively search all of the trademark and patent filings in the United States, all from the comfort of their iPhone. For the entrepreneur on the go, this looks like it would be a critical tool to add to the business arsenal. Give it a download and let us know if it is a real winner in the comments.
